Live in Maine. Work in Maine. Along the Kennebec River
Our real estate agents are always working hard to support our clients in their real estate goals. No matter whether you're buying your first home, trading up, or downsizing for retirement, our experts have the insights you need to succeed.
Kennebec Valley is one of the most exciting areas our team works with. Its combination of natural beauty and leading amenities is attracting more and more people from across the state and beyond. Luckily, there are many charming communities to choose from here.
Kennebec Valley is Everything You've Been Looking for in Maine
The 170-mile Kennebec River has given rise to the picturesque Kennebec Valley area, which offers everything from unspoiled whitewater rafting to a developed riverfront with all the top employers, restaurants, and shopping options you could dream of.
The Forks – at the confluence of the Dead River and the Kennebec – draws thousands of rafting enthusiasts every year. The breathtaking Upper Kennebec Gorge is the centerpiece of this unique experience thanks to its Class IV rapids and all the great camping opportunities around them.
As you move up the Valley, you'll notice it's dotted with some of the region's most striking art and culture institutions. The internationally renowned Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture has trained and cultivated some of the today's most important artists.
Other exceptional educational opportunities are also found here. Those wishing to advance their careers or raise a family should look to Colby College in Waterville: It's consistently ranked among the top 20 liberal arts schools in the United States, rating up with the Ivy League.
Augusta, Maine: The Capital and Heart of the Kennebec Valley
Of course, Kennebec Valley is anchored by the state's capital city: Augusta. This city right on the Kennebec River has been a shining beacon to those seeking freedom and prosperity since 1754. Its remarkable colonial architecture and many preserved sites are a history buff's dream.
Straddling both sides of the river, Augusta is uniquely positioned as a hub of trade. The population in the city center is a cozy 18,000, although it provides world-class employment and other opportunities to more than 70,000 people.
Want a weekend away? Augusta is only three miles from Boston and a quick, one-mile jaunt from Portland. Its many green spaces and preserved areas help to give it an open atmosphere and make it highly walkable – though it also benefits from great public transit and safety.
Augusta homes for sale are some of the most beautiful in Maine.
Kennebec Valley is Waiting to Be Your New Home
No matter if you choose Gardiner homes for sale, Hallowell homes for sale, or Monmouth homes for sale, the Kennebec Valley beckons you to a place where nature, commerce, and culture combine. It is truly like nothing else – in Maine or elsewhere.
